Now, before In continue, I find the treatment of Greece in Europe to be absolutely shameful. After appropriating all the good things that Greece offered (Science, Politics, Philosophy, Culture, Beauty, Identity, Feminism), Europe and America blame Greece for all the misappropriations of Greek culture. Greece, after its fall, was not imperialistic in the way that Rome or the Catholic Church was. Greeks never forced or asked Shakespearean England to see women as boys. This is the most outrageous and stupid scapegoating that I have seen since the scapegoating of the Jews by Nazi Germany.
Meanwhile, Asian countries like South Korea are engaging in a heroic struggle to know the real jewels of ancient Greek society as well as modern.
I don't know what the hell is going on in Europe with all that scapegoating by the Far Right Party which is trying, I suppose, to preserve the nation-state. But the nation-state is really dead in America. No one says that they are American anymore. They say they are from Nashua or Boston. Maybe down South, it is different. It's really the cities that have the power now.
